If There Were A Top Ten List For Stupid Husband Tricks…
Posted By AmyD. on January 25, 2007
Yesterday I got my hair cut. I like it, it’s a fun, simple bob. Shorter than the last time I had it cut. On the way home the following conversation took place:
Me: So you don’t like my hair?
Mike: I never said that! I said I LIKED your hair. I feel like you ask me questions like that to trick me into saying something stupid.
Me: No, Mike, no one needs to TRICK you into doing that.
*silence*
Mike: Your hair looks nice. It’s like Dorothy Hamill or Kate Jackson in Charlie’s Angels.
Me: *blink* *blink* *gasp* *blink* *blink*
A conversation ensued whereas I pointed out that no woman in her right mind would consider that a compliment. To which he asked where he might actually find one of those. I finally said that I would put it up on my blog and that any woman reading it would NOT find that to be a compliment. He said, “oh great, the BLOG brigade.”
To which I said nothing. I picked up my cell phone and called Miss Britt. And I sent her this picture:
She brought up three excellent points:
1. No, my hair does NOT look like Dorothy Hamill.
2. My hair is very cute.
3. My husband totally showed his age (and, in my opinion, ass).
Doesn’t really matter. I don’t think that any of his thoughts/comments were appropriate knowing that his wife’s birthday is THIS FRIDAY.
Your thoughts?

You look FABULOUS!!!!!
Your husband better do a great job with the birthday gifts, plural!!!
Clearly, he considers those two women to be cute, so he was comparing you to them because he likes them and he likes you. Sometimes you have to think like a man to understand.
I told my husband this last night and even HE initially laughed and said “What the fuck was he THINKING?!?!”
Then, after about a five minute silence he says, “you know, Dorothy Hamill was kind of a big deal back in her day…”
I LOVE IT! Let me borrow your hair for like one day…I want mine all cute and short like that *pouts*
Hubs is a loony-tune…your hair is fab!
Men
Wicked Thank you very much! Fortunately, he has planned a date night for Friday (my birthday) and a very nice family party at a restaurant on Saturday. He also bought me a Total Gym (at my request) I’m guessing he feels this entitles him to show his ass.
Avi I read your comment to him and his response was, “that dude RULES.” Although, I’m not sure how I feel about you encouraging him.
Miss B Men.
(What Bug said! LOL)
Bug ThankyouThankyou!!!!
Aww, you look cute as a button!
Whatr would have REALLY been bad is if hubs had said you looked like Lauri Petrie (from the old Dick Van Dyke Show – circa 1961 – LOL)
See a resemblance? LOL

Heh. Between your son and your husband, I’ll just start riots!
Avi Unfortunately, this is true. And, if you say you like Led Zeppelin you might get marriage proposals from both of them.
Your new hair is ADORABLE!
Marti I happen to be very familiar with the Dick Van Dyke show… wasn’t MTM adorable? Thank God he didn’t compare me to that, although, I might have preferred it to Kate Jackson or Dorothy Hamill, I mean, come on!
Crazy Lady Thank you very much! It’s almost as cute as your new blog design!!! *hint* Everybody go visit Crazy Lady and tell her how cute her new blog is!!!!
Your hair is adorable!
